Dermatologists have long endorsed the benefits of a daily skincare routine, and those benefits go beyond appearances. Any act of skincare can be considered self-care, which can contribute to improving mental health. Whether for beauty reasons or general hygiene, taking care of your skin is comforting and soothing by nature. When you have a skincare routine, taking that ten minutes out just for you while alone in your bathroom can be relaxing, especially if you throw in a facial massage with a gua sha or jade roller. Why not take the self-care practice a step further and listen to relaxing music or positive affirmations during the process. Taking the time to look after your skin after a long day alleviates some of the day’s stresses and helps you feel calmer overall.
Many of my clients often come to me because they experience skin symptoms they want to treat. When I outline a self-care regimen for them, they do not have to worry about making the choices for what products to use. I’ve taken the stress away by suggesting a skincare program that addresses their skincare needs and concerns.
Ultimately, it’s about making yourself and your well-being a priority. When we practice self-care, we’re also practicing self-love, which helps us show up every day to share our best selves with others.
